Armenia faces a shortage of Internet specialists, stated the director
of Arminco Andranik Alexanyan during the discussion at the Armenian
Center of National and International Studies on August 30. He thanked
the present owner of Armentel who has launched a reasonable price
and technical policy and made Internet services more accessible,
Andranik Alexanyan says. He says for the ten years that Armentel was
run by the Greek company the development of Internet was impaired.
"When Armentel was run by the Greeks, they appeared to hinder
intentionally the development of the Internet in Armenia. It was
difficult to work with this company. They refused to sell the product
they had," Andranik Alexanyan says.
He says the policy of the new owner of the company changed the
situation but the shortage of specialists is now urgent. The head
of Arminco says there are only about 5000 specialists who move from
one place to another and raise the cost of labor but do not solve
the problem. He says the shortage of qualified personnel impairs the
development of Internet.
